The Razz already is in the process of production with the pledges handing in the “dirt” on various campus noteables to the members of the Honorary, who are acting as editors for the special edition.

The Razz, this year, Silbert announces, will be in keeping with the popular holiday spirit. It will be printed in red ink on green paper to further the Christmas spirit. The flaming ink, incidentally is necessary because of the “hot” nature of the news contained in the sheet.

This will be one of the features of “The Chinese Lantern,” the satirical comedy written by Laurence Hous-man wh'ch is to be produced Friday of this week in Bovard auditorium by the National Collegiate Players. Tickets were placed on sale yesterday at the Students’ Store.
This annuel feast of China is celebrated — at least by the students of this art school — in a very similar way to that in which some Americans celebrate New Year’s. Hilarity, effusiveness of spirits and general freedom of enunciation characterize the action when they come bursting into the studio just before the crack of dawn.
Avalon Daggett, Virginia Roediger, Elizabeth A. Reade, Ruth Burns and Lucille Haylor are the Chinese maidens in this group; Art Zrearly is the lone male member of the unrespon-sible revelers.
Lucille Taylor will be remembered for her superior comedy characterization of Mrs. Pompenelli in “The Torch-betarers,” the underclass play which was produced last year. She promises to surpass even that memorable part as a member of this student group in “The Chinese Lantern”. Elizabeth A. Reade is well known for her histrionic experience on the campus and will add no little to the effectiveness of the scene.
The others in this group have had considerable experience on the campus, principally Avalon Daggett in several productions of this year, and, all in all, the fun-makers should be an outstanding number in thep lay.

The subject upon which Dr. von KieinSmid will speak will be, “Today’s Laboratory, Tomorrow’s Industry.” The president will not be back in Los Angeles before Dec. 16. Owing to the unusual duration of absence of the president from Los Angeles, he has not been able to select a successor to Harold Stonier, retiring vice-president of the university. As Mr. Stonier leaves about the first to take up his new duties with the American Banking Association as Director of Education, there is need that a vice-president be selected as soon as is feasible.

MUSIC GRADUATES ASSIST IN RECITAL
The College of Music held its own Homecoming Thursday night at the Music building on Grand Avenue. Graduates of the College of Music furnished the grst part of a lengthy re cital including vocal and instrumental numbers. Students now in music classes followed with a Drocram which included a humorous reaaing by W. R. Guiberson, a dance interpretation by Miss Nickerson and a chalk talk by Vernon Grant, as well as musical numbers.
This was the first homecoming rally for the College of Music and was presented under the supervision of Miss Lillian Smith. Nearly 100 ‘‘homecomers” were in attendance, and gave promise by their enthusiasm that the number would grow larger each year.
Dorothy Bishop, alumni president brought out in her talk the possibility of establishng a scholarship loan fund for students in the College of Music.
There are still a great many positions open to students who wish either part time or full time jobs, according to a notice received from the employment bureau. The bureau has already aided several hundred men and women in securing positions for Christmas vacation, and it has on file requests from employers for additional workers.
Department stores have the heaviest demand for additional workers during the holidays, especially for girls, although there is also some need for men. At present, one hundred and fifty girls are wanted for work in department stores as clerks, and some men and women are needed to fill cashiers’ positions. These situations are to be filled at the Broadway Department Store, Bullock’s, Blackstones and the Ville de Paris. A request that came in the other day was for four men, six feet four in height, to act as traffic directors in department stores.
To date, the bureau has filled more than three hundred positions in the postoffice. There are no more vacancies at present, but there may be very shortly.* Last week, eighty-three S. C. students found jobs with express companies through the bureau.
Silverwod’s and Desmond’s have jobs for men to demonstrate hats, ties, socks and clothes of all kinds. For those who wish employment that involves experience, there are some positions open in research work on tires, tests to determine the maximum strain, actual driving mileage under all sorts of conditions and comparative strength of different materials. Along with this, the Research Department of the Auto Club of Southern California wants several men to do work in determining the conditions of roads.
In addition to these opportunities, there are others that offer good advantages. Sixteen men are wanted to solicit grocery stores and fourteen nimble waiters are needed. Details may be obtained from the Employment Bureau on Hoove and 36th Streets.
Miss Adelaide Steele Baylor gave the first of a series of lectures in Hoose 206 yesterday afternoon on the “Newer Movements in Education”. Miss Baylor is the executive secretary of the committee on vocational education in the National Council of Education.
The group of six lectures were brought to this university by the school of education. The school is under the direction of Dean Lester B. Rogers.
Miss Baylor is widely known in national Education Association, and she has been president of the National Council of Executive and Administrative Women in Education, and is, at the present time, the secretary of the National Educational Council.
While the speaker is primarily in-treested in home economics, the series of lectures is devoted to the broader field of vocational education, and wiil prove intensely interesting to everyone engaged in the teaching profession.
The lectures which started yesterday will extend to Dec. 13. The topics of the remainder of the lectures are as follows
1. Changing Point of View as to Education of Girls and Women, Dec. ti.
2. Steps Leading to the Passage of a Federal Act for Vocational Education, Dec. 7.
3. Provisions of the Act as They Relate to the Education of Girls ami Women, Dec. 8.
4. Progress in the Vocational Program in Home Economics in a Decade, Dec. 12.
5. The Future as Indicated by Present Trends in the Education of Women and Girls, Dec. 1?.

OREGON STUDENT BANK IS WEALTHY
University of Oregon (P. I. p.)—Dec. 5—Approximately three-fourths of the students of the University of Oregon are wholly or partly self-supporting, according to a recent report made by-Earl M. Pallett, registrar. Only 813 out of 2849 students enrolled on the Eugene campus depend upon their parents for entire support.
The number of men who are entirely “on their own” is 560, more than one-third the enrollment. Women who are entirely self-supporting number 172, or 13 percent of the total.
‘‘The fact that 107 senior men out of 232 are wholly self-supporting indicates that students who must make their own way in life realize the value of university training enough to actually earn it at a sacrifice,” points out Mr. Pallett.

State Universities
Hold National Meet
Austin, Texas, Dec. 5—Dr. H. Y. Benedict, president of the University of Texas, has returned from Chicago where he attended the annual meeting of the National Association of State Universities. All but three state institutions were represented at the meeting. Dr. Benedict said that a number of matters were discussed, all of them relating to state university affairs and problems. He found it interesting to note that in the talks and discussions the fact was brought out that college students the country over are pretty much the same. The student bodies are pretty well standardized in every respect. The problems of the different institutions are largely identical, it
was found.

Dr. R. B. von KieinSmid, president of the university, returned from the meeting of the Institute of International Relations Thursday and left Sunday on a short trip to New York City for the purpose of addressing a conference of presidents of life insurance companies.
The subject upon which Dr. von KieinSmid will speak will be, “Today’s Laboratory, Tomorrow’s Industry.” The president will not be back in Los Angeles before Dec. 16. Owing to the unusual duration of absence of the president from Los Angeles, he has not been able to select a successor to Harold Stonier, retiring vice-president of the university. As Mr. Stonier leaves about the first to take up his new duties with the American Banking Association as Director of Education, there is need that a vice-president be selected as soon as is feasible.

Cartoons, Professor Leake explains, are a major defense of society against mistreatment from professional as well as political groups, and they have played as important a part in the control of medical practice as in the control of trusts. They are a barometer of medical progress and success; exhibiting antagonism and growing in numbers during periods of medical stagnation, or quackery; and loyally lending their support during progressive and successful periods.

MUSIC GRADUATES ASSIST IN RECITAL
The College of Music held its own Homecoming Thursday night at the Music building on Grand Avenue. Graduates of the College of Music furnished the grst part of a lengthy re cital including vocal and instrumental numbers. Students now in music classes followed with a Drocram which included a humorous reaaing by W. R. Guiberson, a dance interpretation by Miss Nickerson and a chalk talk by Vernon Grant, as well as musical numbers.
This was the first homecoming rally for the College of Music and was presented under the supervision of Miss Lillian Smith. Nearly 100 ‘‘homecomers” were in attendance, and gave promise by their enthusiasm that the number would grow larger each year.
Dorothy Bishop, alumni president brought out in her talk the possibility of establishng a scholarship loan fund for students in the College of Music.
There are still a great many positions open to students who wish either part time or full time jobs, according to a notice received from the employment bureau. The bureau has already aided several hundred men and women in securing positions for Christmas vacation, and it has on file requests from employers for additional workers.
Department stores have the heaviest demand for additional workers during the holidays, especially for girls, although there is also some need for men. At present, one hundred and fifty girls are wanted for work in department stores as clerks, and some men and women are needed to fill cashiers’ positions. These situations are to be filled at the Broadway Department Store, Bullock’s, Blackstones and the Ville de Paris. A request that came in the other day was for four men, six feet four in height, to act as traffic directors in department stores.
To date, the bureau has filled more than three hundred positions in the postoffice. There are no more vacancies at present, but there may be very shortly.* Last week, eighty-three S. C. students found jobs with express companies through the bureau.
Silverwod’s and Desmond’s have jobs for men to demonstrate hats, ties, socks and clothes of all kinds. For those who wish employment that involves experience, there are some positions open in research work on tires, tests to determine the maximum strain, actual driving mileage under all sorts of conditions and comparative strength of different materials. Along with this, the Research Department of the Auto Club of Southern California wants several men to do work in determining the conditions of roads.
In addition to these opportunities, there are others that offer good advantages. Sixteen men are wanted to solicit grocery stores and fourteen nimble waiters are needed. Details may be obtained from the Employment Bureau on Hoove and 36th Streets.

OREGON STUDENT BANK IS WEALTHY
University of Oregon (P. I. p.)—Dec. 5—Approximately three-fourths of the students of the University of Oregon are wholly or partly self-supporting, according to a recent report made by-Earl M. Pallett, registrar. Only 813 out of 2849 students enrolled on the Eugene campus depend upon their parents for entire support.
The number of men who are entirely “on their own” is 560, more than one-third the enrollment. Women who are entirely self-supporting number 172, or 13 percent of the total.
‘‘The fact that 107 senior men out of 232 are wholly self-supporting indicates that students who must make their own way in life realize the value of university training enough to actually earn it at a sacrifice,” points out Mr. Pallett.

State Universities
Hold National Meet
Austin, Texas, Dec. 5—Dr. H. Y. Benedict, president of the University of Texas, has returned from Chicago where he attended the annual meeting of the National Association of State Universities. All but three state institutions were represented at the meeting. Dr. Benedict said that a number of matters were discussed, all of them relating to state university affairs and problems. He found it interesting to note that in the talks and discussions the fact was brought out that college students the country over are pretty much the same. The student bodies are pretty well standardized in every respect. The problems of the different institutions are largely identical, it
